Dramatic Encounter: Humpback Whale Breaches and Capsizes Boat off New Hampshire Coast

Imagine being out on the open waters, enjoying a day of fishing, when suddenly a massive humpback whale bursts out of the sea, breaching and capsizing your boat. This is exactly what happened to two unsuspecting fishermen off the coast of New Hampshire on Tuesday.

A Sudden and Fierce Breach

The dramatic incident was captured on video by 16-year-old Colin Yanger from a nearby boat, showing the moment the humpback whale suddenly jumped out of the water, colliding with the fishing boat and sending it capsizing into the sea. The whale's sudden breach left the two fishermen scrambling to get out of the way, with barely enough time to react to the unexpected attack.

Luckily, No Injuries Reported

Thanks to the quick response of nearby fishermen, the two boaters were rescued without any injuries. The video footage of the incident serves as a stark reminder of the power and unpredictability of these marine giants.

Despite their massive size - can grow up to 50 feet in length and weigh around 50 tons - these creatures are a wonder to behold. However, it's essential for boaters and fishermen to exercise caution and respect when sharing the waters with these magnificent creatures.
